Dear colleagues,<div>It has been a very sacred moment reading all the words of love, and memorable encounters, that many of us had with Robert. I found myself in awe as I read and digested each note.</div><div><br></div><div>For me, Robert was also a prophet. </div><div><br></div><div>I remember an occasion when we were both teaching in the Academy and Robert was delivering the lecture in the Nation and World Course. His eyes were far away, as he spoke of the 'tan man' and he said ' that will be the next huge upsurge of people power and chaos, ' or words such as these. It really imprinted on me how the world/ nation-states/ would be reconfigured, as balances were changed....... and I thought of Robert years later, when the Middle East imploded........'</div><div>In his book ' Reading The Bible Again For The First Time' Marcus Borg speaks of ' Prophetic Energising'. For me, Robert was a real example of what Borg means, in his Chapter 6. </div><div><br></div><div>Robert, we salute you... from Australia.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Isobel Bishop.</div><div><div><div>On 01/06/2012, at 10:33 AM, ICA wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div>I will always remember Robert as a great Teacher, a Truth Teller, a Lover of what has Heart and Meaning. </div><div>Praise the gift of his life and spirit!</div><div>Bob<br><br><div>Dr. Robert True</div><div>True and Dorin Medical Group</div><div>360 Lexington Ave., Suite 1102</div><div>New York, New York 10017</div><div>212-826-2525</div><div><a href="http://www.truedorin.com">www.truedorin.com</a></div></div><div><br>On May 31, 2012, at 5:06 PM, "Ellen & David Rebstock" <<a href="mailto:grapevin2@gmail.com">grapevin2@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><div></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>Shrop was my section leader for RS1 in Academy in 1976.
